Right, then they could just deem it afterbirth.

The pro-abortion movement is really just about insuring a women does not have to have and care for a baby if, at any point, she decides she does not want to do so. It is a qualitative judgement that the impact on the mothers life takes precedent over that of the baby. All the rest is just collective rationalization. I have less disrespect for those women who abort because they admit they don't want to be bothered and/or would not be a good mother.

"to give them the impression that you are being as honest,..., "? Not 'to demonstrate that you are being honest'? Not 'being honest because honesty is the best policy'. Just 'fool them into believing you are being honest'?

It sounds to me like Joe296 is contriving excuses for his unwarranted resentment of those he believes are somehow depriving him of his just reward. Hey! That is a good definition of Liberalism isn't it?

So companies are eager and willing to pay someone more money to do the same job because they can 'save' a small percentage of that additional money in reduced tax? Even if they could 'save' all of it in reduced taxes they would only break even. Your reasoning would have them raising salaries if the corporate tax rate went up and reducing salaries if tax rate went down. I don't think they would really do either.

"We will reward our friends and punish our enemies". What don't you understand?

Obama and liberals have it backward, thereby exposing their fundamental misunderstanding of this country and its founding principles. This is a government of self-rule of, by and for the people. Its premise is not that the people should trust government. Its premise is that government should trust the people. If governments could be trusted, Democracy would not be necessary.

"nobody has the time to listen to them all" They wouldn't have to listen to them all. All they would have to do is listen to those involving their enemies.

Another opportunity for the feminists to prove that their partisan blood is thicker than their principle water.

Well now, let's not make a big partisan thing out of a little innocent gun play by the President when we have dangerous six year olds carrying intimidating gun shaped gingerbread around preparing for a life of crime and inoculating themselves and their playmates to gun violence. Guns are protected by the Second Amendment but gingerbread enjoys no such privilege.
